If Monday night was a super rush, last night was the anti-rush. The poker gods giveth and they taketh away. Last night they tooketh away.
In 4 hours of playing $1-$2 Pot Limit, I lost every showdown. Yes that's right: every single one. I only won 2 pots the entire night. One was a stone cold bluff from the button (into a $30) pot, and everyone folded. The other was top pair that resulted in no callers, and another $30 pot.
Not a single straight, flush, set, or full house. Only one pocket pair (77), but I had to lay it down preflop to a $200 re-reraise. Turns out my sevens would've held up against JJ and AT when the board came QTT72. Oh well.
I lost a gigantic pot when I flopped 2 pair (top and bottom). On the button, I moved all-in on the flop for $325. I was called by 2 players, and one of them had a set of 7's.
